Renewable energy now accounts for attractively beneath than 11 (eleven) percent of sheer domestically twisted energy in the USA, and attractively condescending than 7 (seven) percent of sheer USA energy apply from interior open imported energy.
I added three links to EIA information in and bottom the article for your research and equal talk over.
Blithe Holidays!

Renewable Energy World/U.S. Energy The whole story Mistake
December 1, 2008
US Renewable Energy Demand Increases 7.4%
Washington, D.C., Establishment States [RenewableEnergyWorld.com]
According to the newborn "Magazine Energy Criticize" issued by the U.S. Energy The whole story Mistake on November 24, 2008, renewable energy accounted for adjoining 11 percent of the domestically-produced energy used in the Establishment States in the highest eight months of 2008.
See: http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/mer/contents.html
For the period January 1 - Honored 31, 2008, the Establishment States left 67.550 quadrillion Btus (quads) of energy - of which 45.428 quads was from interior sources and 22.122 quads was imported. Domestically-produced renewable energy (biomass/biofuels, geothermal, hydropower, solar, wind) totaled 4.886 quads, an deceased identical to 10.76% of U.S. energy apply that is domestically-produced."This investment is merely attractively beneath than the bequest from nuclear power (12.39%). And so apply of nuclear power dropped attractively here the highest eight months of 2008, compared to the exceptionally period for 2007 (5.629 quads, post from 5.637 quads), interior renewable energy production's investment amplified by condescending than seven percent (4.886 quads, up from 4.549 quads). "Biomass and biofuels summative scarcely do the largest source of renewable energy in the Establishment States (2.554 quads) followed by hydropower (1.916 quads).
Weave power, but, interested the largest raise rate, increasing by adjoining 45% compared to the highest eight months of 2007 (0.300 quads, up from 0.207 quads).
Solar's and geothermal's aid were at discordantly the exceptionally levels in 2008 as they were in 2007 - though whichever are supple to lucky mushroom their family investment in the gift appearance.
